[Wien] Error in parallel execution

[Laurence Marks]

It is a system problem. Maybe the relevant disc is not mounted on the
remote node or something? Try doing a simple ssh to the node and test
things like ls, cd etc. Too many possibilities to list here. Good
luck, just try computer experiments until you track it down.....
